“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They say, “Declares the Lord,” when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word. They have seen false visions and lying divinations. “But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.” See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.įor the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions. As in all the churches of the saints.įor such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.Īnd many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.Īnd in their greed they will exploit you with false words. “And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.”įor God is not a God of confusion but of peace. “For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”īut false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”īeloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
